Left home with my EBT and my Lakie terrier. My old lurcher stayed as she was the family dog. The EBT went back during the first week, my mum missed him too much (which was strange as she had always hated the breed an screemed when I brought the 'pig dog' pup home)! Came unstuck after a few weeks at my new abode. The old boy next door had a large black an white cat that he used to feed on top of his outside privvey. Always stroking it an tellin it what a lovely boy he was. Well, I was outside puttin up an old shed that I'd 'cadged' to use as a kennel (new lurcher on its way!!), when the

For me......Essential

Nice head on him...... but not much in it!!!

This was a ABDX, the only one I've seen (though i'm sure there are a few knockin about), not in the best nick in the pic, I was putting him right after some 'bag-head' had half starved the poor fecker. Racy for his type, I got him right but he never made the grade...far from it!!

When I owned hare dogs....... I liked to know my dog could kill a hare, by killing them...... When I knew I owned a dog that could..... I always admired a good strong hare that gave its all and if it lived to breed another year....... BUT....not too often !!

Your right Pedro, the 'one' Pie dog in the pic was from Wigan, his half tail was the accidental result of a car door. He was owned by two lads in his life, the first working him hard and building a bit of a reputation with him, the next (though still working him) really got him looking the part and put him to stud. Pie lined numerous bitches and it would be fair to say that a lot of poor stuff probably did come out (but then again, one mans meat.....) Pie was 'lost' in Arnside in the early 90's. Some of the line do start as pups with a leg defect, in which at around 6 to 8 weeks, if on their

If thats the Charlie dog that went to Liverpool from the WM, I do know it, put the lad on to buying it and went down for the sale. He was a half brother to my Buck and out of Dee. A dog that served his owner well
-
This is Tess again, with a young 3/4 to 3/4 cross, his sire was out of Pie and put to another genuine 3/4, he leveled out at 25" but I always suspected a little whippet blood in there somewhere as his build was light? A game little dog, this fox was taken by him single at 11mths, after comming back off a bunny run (and missing) and putting the fox up. Unfortunatley I had to let him go as he was always lookin for trouble with the 'Buck' dog, with only one outcome if unchecked!! He went on to do 'very well' for his new owner.

baz gorton dont think he owned pie he ia a dog dealer from burnley Thats right

Ged, grandson of Pie, out of Dee

This light coloured bitch is 'Tess', grandaughter of Pie, out of Spike to a bitch out of Otter. The black dog below is out of Dee and was used to produce Ox, the young dog above.

Buck out of Dee... Pre-Ban!

I mentioned the Pie dog and his only half cross litter to his sister Otter, in the 'Best Bull Cross' thred, my old dog was out of Dee and the bitch in my avator is out of Spike to a bitch out of Otter, all from that 1/2 cross litter. The young dog I have on now is out of my old bitch to a dog out of Dee. Pie was a genuine first cross out of a bull called Max. I know both owners of Pie and the owners of Dee and Spike and seen these dogs at work, I'll say no more than it's the line I've kept ever since. The pick of my young dog Ox was taken last summer...... not quite lookin the same now!

My advice would be to go for something with a fair turn of speed and not too big.... 'BUT' stick to one dog, put as much time and effort into it as possible and i'm sure you will be well rewarded. Trying to 'bring on' two dogs can be very difficult training wise and (just sometimes) one or both can fall out of favour with you whilst starting them. One is more than enough for someone just starting. Good luck.

Wolfy, off this site does some good 'un's. Genuine Bulldogs made to your requrements. Cheers

Manda, you don't mention how old Spud is? I gather you have bought him on 'doin a bit'? Only advice I would give is, go back to jump training with him, start on real small stuff (just a hop over) and always lots of praise.....Make jumping fun for him and don't over train (time) or over match him (hight) on any one training session. Best of luck

Golf course......can leave you and your hound very flustrated and cemetarys can be death traps for big and inexperienced dogs.

Oh I remember that 'duck dog' you once had.....fantastic, game fecker...... Was always dug locked on.....'jaw to beak' type stuff........!! As for the actors we should open a drama school!! I'm good Wolfy, glad to see ya posting

Just my thoughts SJM but if its only running dogs you want for the cross then I would go for a good sound line of coursing dog, a line that is predominantly greyhound heavy and free from large inputs of saluki over the years. For adding 'wind' to your dogs these should be just the ticket, plus good feet, hight and prey drive....... For me, these specialist runners would be the perfect outcross to most lurcher 1/2 crosses, dogs that are judged then bred on their killing ability. Good luck with whatever dog you use

Not really into the car and bike theory and I'm not a big roadwork fan either. Running a dog behind a car (ok, trotting alongside?) does nothing for most dogs mental attitude, I think it pisses them off more than do 'em good and that can be a slippery slope down. Days of roadwork, marching along to try and 'put the milage in' does tighten tendons and really helps feet but it does pile on muscle and not the right running muscle either. So for me its just a good walk along roads in summer two to three times a week ending up a free gallop on a field, no pressure....... and a free gallop on the sa
